Teachers were really great like Nils & Sigrid.
Great value & teaching. Small tip - teachers should check to ensure all class members have “got the point/understood”, not just the ones that answer quickly. They should also make available some “high volume” working exercises for each specific point, to allow students to thoroughly practice. Currently the number of worked examples is more aimed at demonstrating the issues & then a few tests, rather than multiple examples to ensure the points are fully trained.

Q&A - Questions about German courses and schools in Hamburg

I want to go to a language course in Germany. I have no information about which language school to go to. Can you help me? I don't know the German language at all. How many weeks should I take a course?
If you want to take a German course in Germany, there are many options for beginners. Since you have indicated that you do not speak German, I would recommend starting a course at level A1, which is designed for absolute beginners.

The duration of the course can vary, but normally a beginners' course can last from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the intensity and frequency of the lessons.
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Sep 30, 2024
If I already have accommodation in Hamburg, can I book only the German lessons?
Of course, no problem! If you have already arranged your own accommodation, you can book just the course, no problem.
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 26, 2023
I would like to improve my German at the weekends. I live in Hamburg.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.

Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.
